Inflation

I am quite certain that the two big dealers have a list of well healed customers whom most of us don't even know are collectors. One such person, a Hollywood type, has bought Lugers from me in the past and I know he is a "client" of one of these dealers. This fellow has no idea of value, condition or collectibility.

In fact he had bought several thousand dollars worth of Lugers from me before I realized that he had no good books on Lugers. I introduced him to Mr Still.

Several years ago I helped a doctor liquidate his collection of Lugers, with one exception the entire collection was bought from one dealer. The prices he paid for these guns, years earlier, would make one gag.
